This story has also reached the Independent, Times & Evening Standard - at least in their online versions. I haven't looked at the printed editions.

Regarding the Dudley situation if UKIP in Sutton can go from having 2 candidates in 2006 with a handful of votes to a full slate of candidates, 4 wards where UKIP is 2nd and receiving more votes than one of the big 3 parties in 2010 I will be satisfied with that progress though also a bit disappointed that Mr Pickles loses his seat (if he stands again). For reference there were no UKIP candidates in Dudley in the local elections of 1999-2005 and 7 in 2006.
